    Okay so.

    We have two basic equations

    Tower A + B+720 A is 720ft taller than B.

    Tower A+B = 1982 Combined height is 1982ft

    Replace A with B+720 in 2nd equation and solve for B

    B+720+B=1982 Combine like terms

    2B+720=1982 Subtract 720 from both sides

    2B=1262 Divide both sides by 2

    B=1262/2

    B = 631ft

    We know that A=B+720 so you simply need to do that addition to have the height of both towers.
